SER-UW Native Plant Nursery Spring Internship

Written by

The SER-UW Native Plant Nursery is excited to announce we are now accepting applications for our Spring 2024 Nursery Internship! Every quarter, our nursery hosts UW student interns of a variety of different backgrounds and experience levels. Our student interns help support the missions of the nursery while gaining hands-on horticultural experience with native plants.

Interns devote an average of 9 hours a week to nursery projects. The interns’ time is split between routine plant maintenance, integrated pest management, nursery infrastructure projects, helping with volunteer work parties, and more. Each intern also produces an individual project based on their interests and the needs of the nursery. Our Nursery Interns are eligible to receive credit for their time by enrolling in their school’s internship class (ex ESRM 399, BIOL 399). More information about our internship at: https://sites.uw.edu/seruwnursery/get-involved/nursery-internship/

To apply, send a resume and cover letter to sernursery@gmail.com – Applications are due by Friday, March 1st
